| − | Synthetic biologists seek to control the behaviors, specifically those behaviors dictated by gene
| |
| − | expression. To do this, they look to cells to provide a blueprint for their designs. However, scientists

| |

| |
| − | to develop a synthetic promoter toolkit that can generate both digital and analog genetic expression.
